Terraced house for sale in Church Street, Gargrave, Skipton BD23

This is a superbly presented, charming and deceptively spacious two double bedroom Dales cottage, dating to the late Victorian era.

Featuring a Victorian style open-grate fire with attractive recessed shelving and cupboards to the side of the chimney breast, and with hardwood flooring. An understairs cupboard provides good storage, and a glazed door leads into a spacious second reception room. Currently set up as a dining room, but we have seen properties on this row swap the two rooms round to create a dining room at the front and the living room at the rear. Again with high-quality hardwood flooring and with ample space for an eight person dining suite, adjacent to a raised wood-burning stove, set into a recess with brick arch over, and further built-in cupboard for storage.

To the rear which can be approached via a right of way across neighbouring properties or through the house itself, a good sized, mainly hard landscaped garden. With ease of maintenance in mind and set in three shallow tiers with key block paving and flagging, providing alfresco and sunbathing areas leading to a garden shed, which is included in the sale, and being West facing, catches the sun for much of the day and evening.
